I always look forward to Khoi's posts over on Subtraction. I was lucky enough to get along to his workshop on grid design at the Future of Web Apps in London back in February 2007 and I'm still poring over his Grids are Good presentation . Khoi has recently turned his fine perceptive, design-focused attention to a new subject; the shift from narrative to behaviour, or more specifically how the role of the web designer differs form the print designer.

In short this is an essential read for anyone designing for the web.
